CHARLES A. BAILEY, OF MIDDLETOWN, CONNECTICUT.

MECHANICAL TOY.

SPECIFICATION formingl part of Letters Patent No. 281,427, dated July17, 1883.

Application filed March 3, 1883. (No model.) l

T 0 @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. BAILEY, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Midand exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had totheaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification. I

Figure l of `the drawings is a side view of my toy, and Fig. 2 is a topor plan view of the same.

This invention has relation to mechanical toys, and it consists in theconstruction and novel arrangement upon a wheel mounted frame of avibratory support carrying a ball or other object, end gures, betweenwhich the ball or other object passes back and forth duringtheVibrations, and a crank device operating the vibratory support when thetoy is in motion; and the invention further consists in providing, incombination with the vibratory support and its ball or other object,pivoted or yielding end figures adapted to be put in motion by theimpact of the vibratory obj ect, all as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates a frame supportedon wheels B. The shaft C, connecting one pair of wheels, is formed witha crank, D.

E represents avibratory support having an upward extension or arm, c,and a downward extension or arm, c', the support being pivoted to themain frame, as indicated at g. The arm e, which extends downward fromthe pivotal portion ofthe support, is connected by means of a small wireor pitman, l1., to the crank ci,

so that when the toyis moved along the iioor, causing its wheels tot-urn, the vibratory support will be moved back and forth. To the upperend of the arm e of the vibratory support is attached aball, k, or othersmall object.

At each end the frame A is provided with a support or bearing, I, towhich is pivoted the figure of aboy, monkey, or other animated being, asindicated at N, the figure having arms or projections m in position tobe engaged by the vibrating ball or object 7c. To the lower end of thisligure is usually connected a bell or jingle, as indicated at m. Whenthe toy is dragged over the fioor, the ball will appear to be thrownfrom one gure to the other, as its support vibrates back and forth. Whenthe figures are pivoted, as shown in the drawings, the impacts of theball will put them alternately in motion, and will cause the bell tosound.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

1. A mechanical toy consisting of a wheelmounted frame supporting endfigures, and having between the end figures a vibratory support carryinga ball or other object, and operated by means of a crank on the wheel-7| shaft and connection, substantially as specified.

2. In a mechanical toy, the combination, with a vibratory supportoperated by a crank on the wheel-shaft, and carrying a ball or othersmall object, of pivoted or yielding end figures 7 connected to bearingson the frame, and adapted to be put in motion by the impact of thevibratory obj ect, substantially as speciiied.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
